Assisted Living Communities in Paragould, AR

"We went to Liberty Park Senior Living of Jonesboro for a tour. The tour was very good. If my dad had decided to do something, I was hoping he would pick that place. It's nice and it is as close to home as you can get in those situations. The staff who gave the tour was very good. It was the director who went around with us, and he was very informative. He answered all our questions. He is open for us to call if we have any more questions. The upkeep of the place looked very good. We looked at a brand new building that has opened. It was nice, and it looked well-maintained. The size of the rooms was pretty large, too."

"My mom is at the Chateau On The Ridge for more than a year now. It's a place you do not worry about your parents being, it's wonderful. One of the things that mother says a lot is that they care about you, you can tell. She feels like they love her there, they check on her and they're just very attentive. It's a really good place to be. They have a lot of activities for the senior citizens, they just do all kinds of activities, and every holiday they'll have some type of craft. They're doing crafts all the time with them, or if you want you can do puzzles. They've got a room and it's just dedicated to the crafts, and even if they don't have an organized craft at that point, you can still go in there and build stuff up. They have tons of activities. The food is excellent. It's not like a cafeteria, they have Southern cooks there and they do a good job. They have multiple places where there are books or multiple libraries, and it's really neat because they can do little puzzles. They get one puzzle a day, and if you turn that puzzle in, you get some sort of money in your account that you can use to buy gum at the store and other neat things that older people like."

"My mother has been a resident here for 4 years. I don't believe the owners or workers could be anymore caring than they already are now. There has been a few problems over the years but every issue has been resolved quickly. They treat the residence there like family. They make the visitors feel so welcome and a part of the big family they have there. I feel the workers think of what they do as more than just a job and this really shows. The way they let you eat with your loved one is so special. plus the food has always been so good. I would say restaurant quality. I feel so blessed we found this place for our mom when we could no longer give her the care she needed. "

"I toured St Bernards Village. I will go to the assisted section. It was an excellent tour. It was a very nice facility. There were varied activities. The room was lovely. The room that I looked at, the resident was not there, but they let me in. It was very nice and very convenient. The bathroom was handicapped accessible. It was just excellent. I looked at the menu. It seemed to be very good. The manager said they have about 55 rooms, and about 20 people go to the dining room for breakfast. The rest of them had breakfast delivered to their rooms, and I will probably do that. I don't get up and get moving very early in the morning, so I really like that they would bring breakfast to my room. They have an exercise class. They have a room where you can do puzzles. They have birthday parties one day a month for all the residents that have a birthday that month. Everybody I saw looked very pleased. They were interacting with each other, and it was just very nice. The place was beautiful. It was built in a square. In the center of that square, there was a garden where you can go out. They had bird baths, flowers, and walking paths there."

"We visited The Bungalows at Jonesboro, an assisted living community. I'll have a bedroom, a living room, and a kitchenette, and they're all really big. That's the reason I want to go there. The staff was generous. They're willing to show us around, and they're very polite. They asked us if there's anything we need because we have a lot of paperwork to do, but that is expected anywhere. They've called and talked to me a few times, saying the doctor wants me to come in for an annual checkup before I move in. They've been very helpful. They told me that you can order your own food from a menu that they have. You can circle what you want, and if you don't like anything, then you go directly to the kitchen and they will prepare what you want. They also offered us lunch during the visit. The food there looks good. They have church services, devotionals, and Bible studies, which is good because I'm a churchgoer. They have games like Bingo. They also have exercises and therapy deals. It's just a nice place. The rooms are all very clean, and they said they strip and do the beds at least once a week. If you need clothes cleaned, they would do it twice a week. They do their own laundry and everything. The rooms had a refrigerator and a microwave in their kitchenette."

"St. Bernards Villa is a gated area. No one can go in without being checked out, so you can't just pop in and be there. My sister-in-law has been there for three months now. She has an area for a couch, a TV, a bedroom, and the bathroom is very handicap accessible. There is a door that goes out into a private patio where she can walk or sit. They have activities in the morning and in the afternoon. They have wonderful meals. It is a really wonderful place."
